Observations: Love-Hate Relationship with Technology

A conversation in the comment section with Karen (Ravenesque) about technology – who loves it and who is good with it – got me thinking. Aquarius is the sign most associated with technology as is Uranus the planet that rules Aquarius but neither makes for a good techie. Surprised? So was I.

Aquarius-Uranus types are often first in line for the latest and greatest piece of techno-wizardry. They have a deep appreciation for innovation and cutting edge thinking, and will plunk down big bucks to own it. However when it comes to the very necessary routine maintenance needed to [...]

Observations: Mixed Bag Monday

Yesterday Jupiter conjoined my IC (cusp of the fourth house) and it was one of the best days around here I have had in a long time. I felt great, my Cancer dad gave me and my siblings some money, my puppy was a good girl for a change and my husband is happily making plans to replace the leaky roof on our front porch. I take back all the snarky things I said about you, Jupiter. Well, most of them . . .

The New Moon today is in my fourth house and trine my Ascendant and while [...]

The Importance of Touch and Pluto in Earth

The comments on my previous post have kicked my Scorpio brain into high gear! Now I’m mulling over the connection between Pluto in Sagittarius square to Uranus in Pisces and the trend to isolate ourselves in our little techno worlds where we communicate largely through audio-visual means. Pluto in Sagittarius sextile to Uranus in Aquarius may have been the first stages of this trend with experimental Uranus leading and the Sagittarius need for freedom upping the ante. Now with the shift into Earth, is it possible we will begin to understand how vital touch is to our mental, [...]

Mars/Mercury on the Ascendant – The Mind/Body Connection

I came down with one of my very rare bouts with respiratory viruses yesterday and this jogged something loose in my head about a possible connection between having Mars/Mercury conjunct the Ascendant and the incidence and timing of dis-ease.

Over the past seven years I worked as the only office person for two different employers and during that time, I not only was hardly ever ill but if I was it was not on the days I was scheduled to work. My Virgo Midheaven inclines me to be a very dedicated, service oriented employee in addition [...]

Uranus Transits & Mars Rx

Uranus is doing his thing again in my 4th House, inconjunct my Moon. This is a good example why some astrologers use Uranus transits to determine if the birth time is correct because we usually know when they are within a degree of being exact. I knew Uranus was moving to inconjunct my Moon one last time and all, and I was still caught a little off guard when my SO said he would be working at home for an undetermined length of time. So I need to stop and prepare sit down meals for us and have [...]
